Assessment methods
Written exam. The exam includes three open-ended questions dedicated to attendings and three open questions resered to non-attendings.
The exam consists in a written paper covering the texts outlined in the programme; it aims to assess students’ critical skills and their ability to analyse key phenomena of the contemporary world.
Thorough in-depth knowledge of the topics covered in the course, together with analytical and critical skills and command of the specific language, will qualify for top marks (30-30L).
A good grasp of the topics covered in the course, together with good critical analysis and command of the specific language, will qualify for high marks (27-29).
A more mechanical and less articulate grasp, and/or correct use of language though not always appropriate, will qualify for a medium-range mark (23-26).
Weak analytical capacity and frequently inappropriate language – together with some knowledge of exam material – will receive a pass mark or little more (18-22).
Mistakes of spelling and syntax (by native Italian students) will be heavily penalized.
Teaching tools
A PPT will be at disposal in the teaching material on the website with the lessons discussed during the course.
